Michael's is not just a very good place for steak. It is a steakhouse, but it also has a very well rounded, well executed menu of a range of salads, pastas and seafood. For example, there are very few restaurants in Canada that offer wild salmon (and if they do, it is usually Copper River....not my fave), and michael's offers wild Irish salmon!
Scallop ceviche with cucumber, capers, green and red pepper and celery.
A bit of a spicy bight and the celery
added a nice counterpunch of flavour for the sweet scallop.
Agnolotti with lobster lobster butter sauce. Good, properly cooked pasta, but
the agnolotti pasta itself, was a bit heavy. House made tagliolini with
zucchini and basil. Again, very good pasta with perfect texture and pleasing flavours.
(Left to right) Wild boar, rib steak, braised oxtail with a paprika
reduction and gnocchi, accompanied by cinnamon-infused pear. Interesting, but, the steak was of greatest interest:
The steak was a
very good steak, very highly rated (beef boys score for taste, texture and juiciness
out of 10): 8.5\8\8.5. Better than some conventional steakhouse experiences.
